I don't understand what you are saying. Maybe it's because I've travelled to Spain for umpteen years, both by air and by land, and I've always been aware of this: The fact that there are no checks at the border does not mean that you are allowed to travel abroad entirely without the required documents.I spent several hours researching and processing the acquisition of a QR code for Spain. I flew into Madrid last night. Not one person asked to see it. Bureaucracy at its finest.

That’s not what I said. There is a lot of worry, discussion and fear about the infamous QR code. Going through all the steps for nothing seems ridiculousI don't understand what you are saying.

It's been known for more than a year that every passenger on a flight from another country to Spain must have a SpTH QR code; that checks by airport staff in the departing country are fairly systematic; that checks at the arrival airport in Spain are done randomly ie spot checks, i.e. not every passenger gets checked after arrival. And since the beginning of April 2022 or so an even lower proportion of arriving passengers gets checked.That’s not what I said.

Why fear a QR-CODE?That’s not what I said. There is a lot of worry, discussion and fear about the infamous QR code. Going through all the steps for nothing seems ridiculous
I think this is a bit harsh. For one thing, there may still be random checks, and you wouldn’t want to be that person who arrived without the proper papers.Bureaucracy at its finest.
I flew into Barcelona yesterday from Melbourne, Australia and was asked to show it. So better safe than sorry.It's been known for more than a year that every passenger on a flight from another country to Spain must have a SpTH QR code; that checks by airport staff in the departing country are fairly systematic; that checks at the arrival airport in Spain are done randomly ie spot checks, i.e. not every passenger gets checked after arrival.

There's been a lot of enthusiastic discussion about this topic on the forum for sure. Some needless worry and those with some familiarity with the process did their best to dispel such worries.
Did the airline not ask to have your documents uploaded as part of your check in process, thus generating the QR code as a record? Mine did, and that was the only time.I flew into Madrid last night. Not one person asked to see it. Bureaucracy at its finest.
It really wasn’t that hard. My husband and I did it because we flew in last Saturday. At the airport in the US, we had to show our QR code as well as a copy of the vaccination. As for Spain, their country their rules. We always have the option of going elsewhere.That’s not what I said. There is a lot of worry, discussion and fear about the infamous QR code.

How does one get this qr code? I am.flying in from Ghans, my sons from South Africa and the Netherlands.It's not for nothing.
I went through Madrid ten days ago and had to produce it.
Some ladies in my group sailed through without being asked for it while others that did not have it were detained until the could prove their vaccination status. Which they could of course.
It's an easy form to complete and it's best to have it ready in case of being asked.
Your airline should provide links to the necessary procedures.How does one get this qr code?
Just follow the link which @trecile provided above. You can fill it in for a family group and have it posted to individual emails so everyone can have the same qr codeYour airline should provide links to the necessary procedures.
